Bit of a random question. I'm going on a camping safari in January 2017. O need to bring my own bedding. From my research I've found out that it is the raining season. I have a sleeping bag that is more suited to winter which is prefer not to bring. My question is - how cold does it get at night in the parks like Kruger and in places like Maun, Palapye and the Okavango Delta at night. Would I be fine in January with a light covering? I'm assuming it will be humid, but better to ask than just assume and be very wrong.

Australia is very similar in January as in SA, Botswana as it is within same Latitude range give or take a few. So a winter sleeping bag is going to be too heavy .Humidity much the same as well. Hard to predict as there is drought in Kruger currently although some light rain now. Mosquitoes will be in their element in Maun if near Thamalakane River and parts of OD .
